deaddays.jpg	The Book of Dead Days/Sedgwick An odd and mysterious magician, Valerian, is a desperate man. He needs to find the key to his survival after 15 years of searching before midnight on New Year's Eve. The key is a book that Valerian hopes will give him the information he needs to hold back the demonic forces that are pursuing him as a result of a deal that was made based on a greedy love and at a cost too great for him to face now. Valerian uses his servant boy, known throughout the book only as "Boy," and Willow, an orphan, to help him search for the book.
terrier.jpg	Terrier: The Legend of Beka Cooper/Pierce Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard, and she's been assigned to the Lower City. It's a tough beat that's about to get tougher, as Beka's limited ability to communicate with the dead clues her in to an underworld conspiracy. Someone close to Beka is using dark magic to profit from the Lower City's criminal enterprises--and the result is a crime wave the likes of which the Provost's Guard has never seen before. $10.00
greenstone.JPG	Greenstone Grail/Hemingway Desperately she runs. They are following but she can't see them. Clutching her baby, she reaches a house and knocks on the door. A man opens it and quickly invites her in...he knows they're there. In the small village of Thornyhill, Bartlemy and Annie raise Nathan in safety and comfort but now, something has found them again. Nathan begins to have vivid dreams...more vivid than anyone knows. A man he dreams about saving from drowning, turns up on a beach near by. In another dream, he is sunburned and wakes to find his skin red a blistered. As his dreams intensify, he becomes focused on a Thorn family relic that seems to have more to do with the strange goings on than anything. Nathan is caught up in something as important as it is unbelievable. He must figure out what all the signs mean and his purpose in them, even if it means delving deeper into his dreamscapes that frighten yet draw him in as well. $11.00
